ECR离子源引出束流周期性波动研究

Earlier we reported an ion current jump which was observed at a fixed negative biased disc potential in the 6.4GHz ECR ion source at VECC,Kolkata.In a recent experiment with neon ions,we measured the time spectra of the ion current and observed the presence of a burst frequency in the kilohertz range.This frequency shows a correlated jump with the ion current jump described above.Another interesting feature is that the observed burst frequency shows a good linear correlation with the extracted ion current.The higher the ion current,the higher is the burst frequency.This means that current per burst is a constant factor;when there are more number of bursts,the current also increases.     

The method of lines applied to nonlinear nonlocal functional differential equations

This paper discusses nonlinear functional differential equation in a real reflexive Banach space with nonlocal history condition. By using the method of lines, the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution are established. Finally, some applications of the abstract results are presented.     

Kinetic Studies of Bulk Ge22Se78−xBix (x=0, 4 and 8) Semiconducting Glasses

Results of phase transformations, enthalpy released and specific heat of Ge₂₂Se_78–xBi_x(x=0, 4 and 8) chalcogenide glasses, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), under non-isothermal condition have been reported and discussed. The glass transition temperature, T _g, is found to increase with an average coordination number and heating rates. Following Gibbs—Dimarzio equation, the calculated values of T _g (i.e. 462.7, 469.7 and 484.4 K) and the experimental values (i.e. 463.1, 467.3 and 484.5 K) increase with Bi concentration. Both values of T _g, at a heating rate of 5 K min^–1, are found to be in good agreement. The glass transition activation energy increases i.e. 102±2, 109±3 and 115±8 kJ mol^–1 with Bi concentration. The demand for thermal stability has been ensured through the temperature difference T _c–T _g and the enthalpy released during the crystallization process. Below T _g, specific heat has been observed to be temperature independent but highly compositional dependent. The growth kinetic has been investigated using the Kissinger, Ozawa, Matusita and modified JMA equations. Results indicate that the crystallization ability is enhanced, the activation energy of crystallization increases with increasing the Bi content and the crystal growth of these glasses occur in 3 dimensions.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thio acid-mediated conversion of azides to amides – Exploratory studies en route to oroidin alkaloids

The utility of the thio acid-azide coupling reaction to afford amides is explored in imidazole-containing substrates for application in the total synthesis of examples of oroidin alkaloids. Good yields of the expected amides are obtained in both monomeric and dimeric substrates. Bis azides react preferentially at the 2-azido position but hydrosulfenylation and reduction interfere. 2-Thiophenyl and 2-oxo groups were evaluated as 2-amino surrogates, the thioether delivered the expected amide, whereas 2-imidazolone gave a mixture of the expected amide and the hydrosulfenylation product.     

Principal eigenvector field segmentation for reproducible diffusion tensor tractography of white matter structures

The study was aimed to test the feasibility of utilizing an algorithmically determinable stable fiber mass (SFM) map obtained by an unsupervised principal eigenvector field segmentation (PEVFS) for automatic delineation of 18 white matter (WM) tracts: (1) corpus callosum (CC), (2) tapetum (TP), (3) inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF), (4) uncinate fasciculus (UNC), (5) inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFO), (6) optic pathways (OP), (7) superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF), (8) arcuate fasciculus (AF), (9) fornix (FX), (10) cingulum (CG), (11) anterior thalamic radiation (ATR), (12) superior thalamic radiation (STR), (13) posterior thalamic radiation (PTR), (14) corticospinal/corticopontine tract (CST/CPT), (15) medial lemniscus (ML), (16) superior cerebellar peduncle (SCP), (17) middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP) and (18) inferior cerebellar peduncle (ICP). Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-derived fractional anisotropy (FA) and the principal eigenvector field have been used to create the SFM consisting of a collection of linear voxel structures which are grouped together by color-coding them into seven natural classes to provide PEVFS signature segments which greatly facilitate the selection of regions of interest (ROIs) for fiber tractography using just a single mouse click, as compared with a manual drawing of ROIs in the classical approach. All the 18 fiber bundles have been successfully reconstructed, in all the subjects, using the single ROIs provided by the SFM approach, with their reproducibility characterized by the fact that the ROI selection is user independent. The essentially automatic PEVFS method is robust, efficient and compares favorably with the classical ROI methods for diffusion tensor tractography (DTT).     

Some bounds for integrals with refinements of the Grüss inequality

Some integral bounds are obtained which provide refinements and extensions of the Grüss type inequalities. We also get an alternative formulation of the Grüss inequality.     

Approximations of solutions to neutral functional differential equations with nonlocal history conditions

This work is concerned with a class of neutral functional differential equations with nonlocal history conditions in a Hilbert space. The approximation of solution to a class of such problems is studied. Moreover, the convergence of Faedo-Galerkin approximation of solution is shown. For illustration, an example is worked out.
